Re: Is this a Good Router ? If you need all that then go for it. I use the free version and it does just fine by me. It does exactly what I need it to do from the standpoint of filtering. I set it and forget it. Once in a great while someone here will come to me and say "hey why can't I get to this site...it says its blocked by you". My response is why are you trying to go to gambling, sex or warez site on my network?
I run a clean network...if you want those sites....get them on your network lol

Re: [Internet] Best Routers for Bridged Networks Boomer things still goin strong with the Asus. Have discovered that it doesn't like some older USB drives however. Especially the GoFlex models. Works fine with WD Elements drives though no problem.

| Hey Sorry, missed these. I've been travelling for business a lot lately.
Things are still great. So much so that I've not even thought about it much.
You? |

Same here...the only issue I see is the USB NAS feature. It's not the best method they could have come up with BUT if you use it for media streaming it's flawless. It absolutely hates Seagate Go Flex drives though. The WD's work fine... Go Flex's not so much.

| @ispgeek, I'm making some network changes and need some advice.
My ASUS is on 192.168.1.1 I need to change this to 192.168.2.1.
Can I just go into the LANIP section and change it there?
When I do, should all my gear automatically see the SSID and auto-reconnect regardless of the new base IP? |

Hey Boomer I think I also figured out the USB NAS feature issues with the Go Flex (or any drives for that matter). Let me know if you are interested in the details.

Good to hear but I'm not using it so it would be wasted on me. Thanks though |

Huh? Boomer forgive me for saying this but there are times when you appear to be well...here's the PC way of saying it....more protective of information than is warranted. I'm one of these kind of guys who likes to know what the hell I'm getting into before I post an opinion so I'll counter with...until I get more information I'm not at liberty to give you a judgement on your original request

Ohhh Boomer... you didn't... 
In that case turn DHCP off on the Asus anbd yes set it up as you thought. The Asus will no longer function as a router just as an expensive 4 port switch. So lets put that in the strike one category for FiOS. Now there isn't anything by some chance that one of my friends at BHN could offer you to lets say make ya change your mind now is there If you are still open to options PM me.

Thanks isp, actually I will turn the radio off on the FIOS router and use the ASUS as my primary but in order to do that, I need to change the base LAN IP to 192.168.2.1 which is what prompted my original question (which you still didn't answer or maybe you did) |

There is a way to have your ASUS as the main router and still have MOCA working.

I now have dual WAN Land line Providers. LOL |

Corporate pay's for VZ FiOS. We still pay BHN separate in case FiOS goes down or vice versa. We need the redundancy Corporate will not pay for down time on my end. |
